Heavy and sour bread or biscuit has a
vast influence through the digestive organs
upon the measure of health we enjoy How
important to our present happiness and
future usefulness the blessings of good
health and sound constitution are, we
can only realize when we have lost them,
and it is too late to repair the damage Not
withstanding these facts. thousands of per
sons daily jeopardize not only their health,
but their lives, and the health and lives of
others, by using articles in the preparation
of their food the purity and healthfulness
of which they know nothing. Perhaps "A
few cents may have been saved, or it may
have been more convenient to obtain the
articles used, and the housekeeper takes
the responsibility and possibly will never
know the mischief that has been wrought.
Paterfamilias may have spells of headache,
the children may have lost their appetites,
or look pale if so, the true cause is rare
ly suspected. The weather, the lack of
outdoor air, or some other cause is given,
and the unwholesome, poisonous system of
adulterated food goes on. Next to the
flour, which should be made of good, sound
wheat and not ground too fine, the Yeast or

Of the Royal baking powder upon the dough
is simply to swell it and form little cells

with carbonic acid gas, which passes off
during the process of baking.
The Royal is made from pure grape acid,
and it is the action of this acid upon high

THE HOUSEHOLD.



read health article not long ago that
appealed strongly 10 my common sense.
The subject was diet in relation 10 age. II
argued that ms the vital force grows less
the diet should be regulated to suit the new
conditions. Food more simple, more nutri-
tious in proportion to quantity, should he
taken This seems self-evident, but is,
venture TO say, very seldom considered.
On the contrary, as the man grows old and
has fewer sources Of enjoyment, his table
comforts seem to him Of more Importance
than ever. He eats, and eats again, be
cause he has nothing else TO do. He gives
the enfeebled machinery too much work
and when he is attacked by sickness, the
vital forces, having used themselves up try
ing to help the man out with his appetite,
have small power to fight.
In the healthy individual, nature usually
indicates how much food is necessary The
little child win eat enough, and push back
his plate, saying us frou," unless there is
some favorite dainty to tempt him. Per
SONS in grief do not usually wish to eat
they have not the power to digest, and they
turn from ordinary food. The old would
also be guided in this respect, had not habit
become to them second nature. But as
the quantity is decreased the quality must
be the more carefully attended TO- In re-
spect to delicacy Of the digestive organs,
the old man or woman is again child and,
as the change from viriity to delicacy takes
place gradually, so we should be careful to
graduate our diet to our years, that the
system may not be overburdened that
health may be preserved, the eye kept clear,
the brain active, the temper serene. -Good

The best butter is that which has had the
least done for it all the way through The
aim now of the butter-maker should be to
avoid the salvy, greasy condition of store
butter, which has had all grain and life
and flavor wash ed out of it in subsequent
working over, Many fail Just here The
object is to get solid grains of butter and
this is secured with cold water and salt
When the buttermilk shows, the chuIn
should be stopped and a gallon of cold wa
ter and an ounce of salt be added for each
supposed six or seven pounds of butter
This hardens the globules and the salt, in
the form of weak brine, takes the place of
of buttermilk as a coating or film to the
globules If we agitate the mass slightly,
and then let it stand few moments, the
butter-grains will rise above the surface of
the fluid. If the buttermilk and brine are
drawn out from beneath without disturb
ing the butter above, then more weak brine
added, we free the butter from buttermilk
and have not disturbed or injured the grain.
Now add the salt to this wet butter. Let
it stand for the salt to dissolve and work
over at once, Then pack away from the
air, and we get very nearly perfect butter.

Rye for Fall and Spring Pnsturage

Rye is not only valuable for its grain and
straw, but it cannot be eXcelled as a crop
for late pasturage i'll the fall when other
green food is scarce, while it also grows
early in the spring and enables stock to Sc
cure green food before anything makes
start. If rye should be estimated entirely
as "A forage plant the result would not be
altogether in its favor, as there are other
and more desirable materials for that pur-
pose but its place cannot easily be filed in
some respects. Late in the fall the farmer
usually has his barn well stored with grain
and hay, and cares very little about rye as
a special food, but it is well known that as
long as the stock can procure a proportion
of green food there is greater thrift, and
mich cows give a larger quantity of milk
owing to the dietary effect of the green
food. Unless the farmer have ensiage his
stock must subsist on the cured dry prov
ender provided for them, but if he have a
field of rye he can either pasture the COWS
| upon it or cut it for them, if it be of sufIi-
cient height, according to the proportion
required. If the ground be made rich
the grazing on the rye will do it no harm,
as it will grow up again and provide crop
of grain at the proper time but care should
he taken that the rye be not trampled too
much. In addition to late grazing, as soon
as the snow is off the ground in the spring
the rye furnishes early green food, which
is always an acceptable treat to stock that
have been fed on dry food during the long
winter, and in these respects the rye CROP
is one of the best 1t shortens the time on
which grain and hay are fed exclusively
When other grasses begin to come in the
rye can be permitted to mature, and croI

never be made to usurp the place of wheat
and oats as a grain crop except on light
sandy soils, but as "A combined crop, afford
ing grain, straw and convenient grazing
it has an important place which no Other
crop can fill. 1t will pay any farmer whc
keeps stock to SOW piece of land to rye
not so much as a matter of profit but as
means of providing green food in the fhl
and early spring -Ihiiddeiphid Record.

Application Of Manure.

Not only is the preservation of the manure
with minimum loss a matter of great i'm
portance, but its application TO the soil, or
to crops, is also an important matter. Sci
ence would perhaps indicate that to spread
it upon the surface of the soil Just before
blowing, and then to SOW the seed and have
the roots of plants ready to absorb the
plant-food as fast as released by decompos-
ton, would be the better way of saving the
valuable ingredients of manure but recent
practice of many of our best farmers would
seem to afford evidence that there are some
things which chemists have not yet salts
factorily explained Since the ordinary ro-
tation of crops, so generally adopted in
Western New York, has been practiced-
that is, manure upon clover and timothy
sod, followed by barley and oats, those
crops by wheat, and that by meadow-many
farmers have practiced hauling out their
manure at convenient seasons during the
winter, sometimes daily or weekly when
the weather and circumstances would per
init, and continuing so to do until ready to
pillow for corn in the spring. Many farmers
have informed us that the favorable results
of this course were plainly visible in the
corn, and that ON those parts of the field
where manure was spread earliest in win
bNi eii' wi II was bcobf NlS BlpNlh
ing as the time of spreading neared the
time of blowing. a German farmer, who
watched for several years the effects of sur
face application of manure, became CON
WINGED that a load of quite raw, unferment
ed manure had quite as much effect as
load of manure that had been condensed
and shrunken by fermentation. IT, then
farmers will, by the use of absorbing litter
and gypsum and compacting in the stables
or manure sheds, do what they can toward
preserving the manurial elements before
the manure is applied to the soil and WILL
fro II time to time during the winter when
the weather is favorable, the earth frozen,
and little or no snow upon the surface, haul
out and spread the manure evenly over the
surface, they will do the best possible, in
the light now shed upon the subject both
by science and experience, toward husband
ing the manure of the farm and preventing
the soil from deteriorating Am. Rural
